Life is Great

Saturday morning tucked away at Bangsar, there we were together to share good food and even better conversations.

Well known for its Spanish cuisine and Tapas bar, La Bodega also offers a delectable breakfast menu at its Deli outlet. By 9.30 a.m. on a Saturday morning, it was fully booked and TBC got its seats al fresco before it was too late.

Najah and Zarina both ordered their combinations of English Breakfast while an equally starving PY got herself a Big Breakfast, an OJ and a triple espresso. The Big Breakfast set is fixed and complete with chicken frankfurters, beef bacon, baked beans and a choice from three variations of eggs - scrambled, omelette or poached.

The English Breakfast offers several options and is served with toast, tomatoes, choices of coffee and fresh juice. Not to be missed is the sauteed mushroom, which can be ordered separately if it one is not hungry enough to have its breakfast sets (lunch may be skipped as the sets are really huge).

Be forewarned though that pancakes and waffles are to be avoided as Ash's ice cream waffle did arrive almost cold and soggy. Also available at the Deli are main courses for lunch, a selection of cheeses and freshly baked bread and an extensive range of sandwiches.

Although Seed Cafe has been in operation for some time with several branches around the city, I have never been there until Tariq and Hani recommended it.

While visiting One Utama's Lakeside Promenade stalls (nothing to shout about, better visit the ones in Bangsar Shopping Center or Mont Kiara), Farha and I decided to give Seed Cafe a try.

True enough, the food was good and the service prompt. I like its beige and creamy interior with wooden furnitures. On the tables are pots of aloe vera instead of the usual blooms one would expect.

I had the cajun chicken chop and my companion a set of make-your-own sandwiches. The portions were huge - Farha had to stomach four pieces of toast with tuna and chicken mayo, side salad and fries. The chicken I had was juicy and well marinated with a delicious cajun sauce dip and fried potato wedges on the side.

The menu covers several choices of pasta, soups, hor dourves, Japanese fusion noodles, Vietnamese beef noodles (also high recommended), Western sets, local fares and sandwiches.

One of the advantages of living in a landed property is the possession of a garden. We used to have two humongous mango trees but they had to be put down years ago due to complaints from the next door neighbor.



In his spare time, my father tends to these plants with all kinds of fertilizers, some even homemade from err... the strained remains of blended soy beans and innards of cleaned fishes.
